1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,090
I call this meeting order 6 o'clock, the Main Street Advisory Board. That's loud. Let's say the, oh, we're all here. Everybody's accounted for?

2
00:00:15,070 --> 00:00:16,110
Aaron's here.

3
00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:17,870
All right, good.

4
00:00:18,270 --> 00:00:19,150
Thank you.

5
00:00:19,550 --> 00:00:20,790
All right, pledges, please.

6
00:00:25,010 --> 00:00:28,630
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

7
00:00:29,410 --> 00:00:34,070
And to the Republic, for which stands one nation under God,

8
00:00:34,430 --> 00:00:38,010
indivisible with liberty and justice for all,

9
00:00:38,570 --> 00:00:39,870
honor the sexess flag.

10
00:00:40,450 --> 00:00:47,230
I pledge allegiance to the taxes one state under God, one and indivisible.

11
00:00:47,230 --> 00:00:48,130
We

12
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:58,230
don't have anybody here to speak, huh?

13
00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:02,910
All right, everybody have a look at the minutes

14
00:01:02,910 --> 00:01:04,350
from the March 2nd meeting.

15
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:21,570
You have something about the minutes?

16
00:01:21,570 --> 00:01:22,710
Yes. Okay.

17
00:01:23,330 --> 00:01:26,610
Regular agenda D 2.

18
00:01:28,970 --> 00:01:29,810
Point 2.

19
00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:31,350
But Aaron Lynch.

20
00:01:32,450 --> 00:01:33,870
I think it's Aaron Lynch.

21
00:01:37,020 --> 00:01:37,600
No problem.

22
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,740
I think you think it is.

23
00:01:57,770 --> 00:02:03,530
Anybody see anything else what needs it? Aaron Lynch again. Oh, turn the pair.

24
00:02:03,550 --> 00:02:11,130
Yeah, adjourn. Aaron Lynn, okay. No problem. Thank you. You're fine. It's probably auto

25
00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:12,670
correct. It's all correct. It

26
00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:41,710
is. Oh, I'll do that. Please do Mr. On. I'd like to make a motion

27
00:02:41,710 --> 00:02:45,370
to approve the minutes of March 2nd, 2026.

28
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:46,210
Thank you.

29
00:02:46,350 --> 00:02:46,990
Who will second?

30
00:02:47,470 --> 00:02:47,870
My second.

31
00:02:48,330 --> 00:02:48,970
Thank you, Debbie.

32
00:02:49,150 --> 00:02:49,710
All in favor?

33
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:52,870
What if I said no?

34
00:02:53,570 --> 00:02:54,070
You're out.

35
00:02:55,210 --> 00:02:56,650
Mr. Lynch.

36
00:02:58,510 --> 00:02:59,210
The glitch.

37
00:03:00,330 --> 00:03:00,670
The glitch.

38
00:03:01,350 --> 00:03:01,390
The glitch.

39
00:03:01,390 --> 00:03:01,650
Okay.

40
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:05,690
Main Street Committee updates.

41
00:03:05,850 --> 00:03:09,630
I'll see any activities on this agenda.

42
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:12,310
Can we talk about them?

43
00:03:15,130 --> 00:03:20,310
Monning cloud and Easter account and reviewing all of that.

44
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,480
Okay, that can go under, staff report.

45
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:26,200
Okay,

46
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,440
all right, so Promotions Committee.

47
00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:35,900
So Promotions Committee, we're planning on having a meeting the third or

48
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:37,260
fourth week of April.

49
00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:41,200
We're going to meet with Wendy Atkins.

50
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,840
And I've reviewed the recommendations from the Promotions Committee with her.

51
00:03:46,840 --> 00:04:00,320
And she's going to want to meet the committee in person and then talk with them over the recommendations, and I think she's also got a little Wendy, is it putting yet?

52
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:14,500
Yes, that can just. And she wants to give us a preview of a new proposed logos. So anyway, we'll see.

53
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:15,720
Cool.

54
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:21,720
Anything else? Wonderful. Design committee.

55
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:26,620
My group is still just sort of waiting

56
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:32,720
so we made a couple of proposals and everything was just sitting there.

57
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:37,630
And we're simply

58
00:04:37,630 --> 00:04:46,590
waiting for further news, further guidance and direction or approval.

59
00:04:46,590 --> 00:04:47,610
or approval.

60
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:57,470
Okay.

61
00:04:57,490 --> 00:04:58,250
Any number?

62
00:05:00,430 --> 00:05:00,990
Yes.

63
00:05:03,490 --> 00:05:04,150
I just want to clarify.

64
00:05:04,930 --> 00:05:05,310
I just want to clarify.

65
00:05:05,570 --> 00:05:05,850
I just want to clarify.

66
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:07,350
Okay.

67
00:05:11,090 --> 00:05:11,870
Fast meeting, guys.

68
00:05:12,050 --> 00:05:13,070
One on E.

69
00:05:14,370 --> 00:05:15,290
That's you.

70
00:05:15,370 --> 00:05:16,350
That's what we did this take.

71
00:05:18,510 --> 00:05:18,890
Okay.

72
00:05:19,870 --> 00:05:23,870
So in your packet, you have our Main Street report that February 26.

73
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:27,970
this same information is provided to our city council.

74
00:05:29,130 --> 00:05:32,910
So you know, Wendy was she does the multimedia content

75
00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:34,350
stuff which is also in here.

76
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:37,430
But I started providing this that's just specific to

77
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:39,490
Main Street for our city council and then of course it

78
00:05:39,490 --> 00:05:41,250
will go before you guys as well.

79
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:43,710
It just sort of gives you a what are we working on,

80
00:05:43,770 --> 00:05:45,670
what's going on sort of thing.

81
00:05:46,330 --> 00:05:47,690
So you'll see key meetings.

82
00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:49,150
We had our event committee meeting,

83
00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:59,590
February 2st, Main Street Board, obviously. We all met on the 2nd of February as well. And then I met I had a downtown merchant's meeting on February 23rd.

84
00:06:00,470 --> 00:06:01,190
Top one of the month.

85
00:06:02,370 --> 00:06:04,870
So what's the feedback from the emergency meeting?

86
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:13,210
So it was very sparse. There was like maybe six of us total. There were just lots of people out with illness and different things.

87
00:06:13,210 --> 00:06:14,970
So there really wasn't a whole lot of discussion.

88
00:06:15,130 --> 00:06:21,730
I basically just gave them a kind of a synopsis of what was happening with the flower festival planning.

89
00:06:22,570 --> 00:06:24,510
And that was kind of the whole just of the meeting.

90
00:06:24,830 --> 00:06:26,790
Who was there who would actually be there?

91
00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:30,090
I don't have my notes for that.

92
00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:31,770
Let me think about who it was.

93
00:06:32,450 --> 00:06:33,830
How do you where you at that one?

94
00:06:33,970 --> 00:06:34,950
No, you wouldn't have been there.

95
00:06:35,210 --> 00:06:36,390
That was not a big one.

96
00:06:36,490 --> 00:06:38,610
What about who was there?

97
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,440
So we are still meeting with the merchants.

98
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,640
So the events committee was a way to meet with the merchants.

99
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,880
No, the events committee is separate.

100
00:06:49,220 --> 00:06:50,260
So the events committee.

101
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:52,100
Because I thought the merchants were pushed.

102
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,140
There are several that are on the committee that are also merchants.

103
00:06:57,740 --> 00:07:01,440
So like Gretchen counts is on there.

104
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Bobby, Jesick, and Michelle Stahlings.

105
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:10,320
So they're all merchants, but they're also on the event committee.

106
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:23,080
The modal latte owners are part of both of those, but they have not attended either of them.

107
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,620
Lori Trevizo is obviously both as well.

108
00:07:31,870 --> 00:07:34,690
I think who else is on there?

109
00:07:34,890 --> 00:07:38,690
Oh yes, Kaylee Rice was star bright. She can do both.

110
00:07:42,190 --> 00:07:46,510
Tabitha Tepper is not a merchant, but she is on the event committee.

111
00:07:53,720 --> 00:08:02,860
So the events committee does have a lot of merchants. Seems like mostly merchants. How many people do we have at the event in the events committee?

112
00:08:02,860 --> 00:08:04,500
there's nine total nine.

113
00:08:04,820 --> 00:08:07,000
We've already started on those.

114
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,040
The Main Street Board did.

115
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:11,080
Yeah, we've added it on those.

116
00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:12,500
It was applied.

117
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,840
It was an application and they applied and we've added on them.

118
00:08:16,940 --> 00:08:18,700
But mostly it's merchants.

119
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,240
It's looking.

120
00:08:19,340 --> 00:08:20,780
It is majority of merchants.

121
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,640
And then we also have now the merchants meeting.

122
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,820
Because that's where I got confused last time.

123
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,500
I thought we were pushing that over to the merchants.

124
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:31,520
So that kind of took place of the merchants meeting.

125
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:40,020
So the downtown merchants meeting is held quarterly and it's an opportunity for us as a city to let them know kind of things that are going on

126
00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:47,980
That would affect them and then in turn. They also can let us know things that are happening in their shops or in their businesses

127
00:08:48,660 --> 00:08:56,060
If they have something coming up that they want to make us aware of or even if there's difficulties or something that they're coming up against

128
00:08:56,060 --> 00:09:01,120
That's a time for them to be able to share that with us as well and then the events committing needs

129
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:09,280
just once a month. And actually, we didn't meet in March, so, but we're meeting at the end of this month.

130
00:09:15,220 --> 00:09:20,280
The top one of the month as you'll see is we confirmed the Ninja Project obstacle course.

131
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:30,960
There is a Ninja Warrior, a former Ninja Warrior participant who, that's his business now, is he takes these obstacle courses throughout the Metroplex for events and things.

132
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,200
you can run on for all kinds of stuff.

133
00:09:33,420 --> 00:09:35,360
And so that's actually going to be part of our kids' own

134
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,440
for Bonnie and Clyde this year.

135
00:09:38,540 --> 00:09:42,120
OK, well, so speaking of kids, word on the street

136
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,080
is that we've gotten rid of our soapbox, do we?

137
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,320
Yes.

138
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:50,520
So again, like I said at the meeting last time,

139
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,920
we're making changes big changes to events

140
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,020
without talking to the board.

141
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,240
We were just so getting rid of that was part.

142
00:09:57,420 --> 00:09:59,980
So that was discussed whenever we did our presentation

143
00:09:59,980 --> 00:10:05,160
about events this year. We discussed that previously about needing to move the

144
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,960
moving the kids down over by the ice house and eliminating that section of

145
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,060
road closures so that we have more parking.

146
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:15,080
So that was a clear leave.

147
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,260
Because I'm thinking of the event being moved from to the nine, you look at the time

148
00:10:21,260 --> 00:10:23,980
saying through the box. Because that's not really the one.

149
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,960
That may be true but nobody distinctly made that clear to our board at

150
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:35,040
that we were going to mix, something that was in part of the event.

151
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:42,060
In my opinion, and I have one, it's not so much about the derby, it's about the people

152
00:10:42,060 --> 00:10:44,680
running it, and what brought it here to begin with.

153
00:10:45,260 --> 00:10:47,380
It's been going on for a long time.

154
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:51,360
The Cabinet Makers Association started it.

155
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:54,060
There are number one employers in town.

156
00:10:54,060 --> 00:11:00,020
Chandler took it over from them, and did it for many, many years, their employees, their

157
00:11:00,020 --> 00:11:08,520
friends, their families, built the cars, that the Masonic Lodge has. The Masonic

158
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,080
Lodge is a fundraising organization that gives money to children,

159
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:24,380
and it kind of

160
00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:27,880
like this is continuing to happen that decisions are being made.

161
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:31,020
And then we come up and read these papers and do the thing.

162
00:11:31,180 --> 00:11:32,700
And then we don't matter.

163
00:11:33,220 --> 00:11:33,320
We don't matter.

164
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,660
Like you're saying that we've discussed it, but we never discussed it.

165
00:11:36,900 --> 00:11:38,840
We talked about maybe the road closure.

166
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:43,240
We talked about the change of the event, which you guys told us after the fact

167
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,260
we didn't hear about it in a way that we were in any way partying to making a decision

168
00:11:48,260 --> 00:11:49,860
about changing the event time.

169
00:11:49,860 --> 00:12:05,060
So I just, I'm having a little bit of frustration like I mentioned at the last meeting that it seems like every time we make some kind of progress and being involved and getting engaged as a board.

170
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:12,280
Then there's a shuffling of papers and then we get a new thing that's put in front of us as a way of just

171
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:18,100
I'm sconding any kind of real information that we can be useful to the panel.

172
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:25,510
I do feel like it's kind of, you just want us to come in on a Monday night for 30 minutes

173
00:12:25,510 --> 00:12:27,630
to just go, okay, great.

174
00:12:27,890 --> 00:12:30,350
And I'm not interested in being on a board like that.

175
00:12:30,770 --> 00:12:32,130
I'm here to be engaged.

176
00:12:32,430 --> 00:12:36,570
I'm here to offer expertise of my professional background.

177
00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:41,530
I'm here to be a citizen that wants to show up for my town.

178
00:12:41,530 --> 00:12:48,470
And we've learned from the Texas Main Street Association, we've learned from our counterpartum

179
00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:55,590
Solina that our board does have the ability to help, does have the power, that's what she

180
00:12:55,590 --> 00:13:00,750
used, the word, and I, it's not about power, but it's about the fact that we're here, we're

181
00:13:00,750 --> 00:13:06,570
doing this, and we seem to get somewhere, and then it seems like, and it's again, not

182
00:13:06,570 --> 00:13:08,690
focus in this just on you guys.

183
00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:12,690
It seems like the nature of the city

184
00:13:12,690 --> 00:13:19,630
is to shuffle some papers and keep us just on the wheel.

185
00:13:19,630 --> 00:13:21,310
White-cated, keep us on the wheel.

186
00:13:21,730 --> 00:13:26,250
Yeah, on the wheel and we're just here to sign off on decisions

187
00:13:26,250 --> 00:13:28,710
whenever we're supposed to be deciding these things.

188
00:13:28,770 --> 00:13:30,850
We're supposed to be discussing them.

189
00:13:32,050 --> 00:13:34,450
The committees and everything are great,

190
00:13:34,450 --> 00:13:38,190
but it seems like the committees are now being used

191
00:13:38,190 --> 00:13:45,430
in multiple lanes to tell us information,

192
00:13:46,490 --> 00:13:50,410
but like in a three-card monti, like this committee

193
00:13:50,410 --> 00:13:53,290
approved it, and this committee approved it,

194
00:13:53,290 --> 00:13:54,730
but when you talk to the committee members,

195
00:13:54,890 --> 00:13:56,750
they go, well, they just showed us

196
00:13:56,750 --> 00:13:58,850
what they're already doing and we said great.

197
00:13:59,130 --> 00:14:00,350
That's not an approval.

198
00:14:01,810 --> 00:14:04,210
And I just feel like we're kind of still moving

199
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:10,730
in that direction. Big changes are being made to our events, like the time frame, like getting

200
00:14:10,730 --> 00:14:18,610
rid of a very integral part of the event itself, adding a whole another part of the event

201
00:14:18,610 --> 00:14:24,430
that may or may not match up with the event. Those things I feel like are supposed to be talked

202
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:28,910
about as a board and disgust and decided in here,

203
00:14:28,950 --> 00:14:34,350
not presented and then like even not presented.

204
00:14:34,890 --> 00:14:37,650
Yeah, like it was something that I was very after the

205
00:14:37,650 --> 00:14:41,710
decision was made and that is something I don't know.

206
00:14:41,890 --> 00:14:45,450
It's frustrating because I feel like we don't matter.

207
00:14:45,850 --> 00:14:48,050
I would rather have my Mondays back, you know?

208
00:14:48,390 --> 00:14:50,790
And I feel like it's being done on purpose.

209
00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:58,090
I feel like Texas Main Street and Solina Main Street Head Coordinator, Main Street Director,

210
00:14:58,910 --> 00:14:59,970
told us we are at...

211
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:11,880
Just as we part of it. And we're being told by pilot point, none of it will look over here. This person approved it. So I don't have questions.

212
00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:26,520
At this moment in time, is it possible to bring back the soapbox derby? I mean, is it dead and gone? Or has it just been

213
00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:29,720
sideline?

214
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:48,760
You know what I'm getting at, is it too late to re-evaluate its value, what it brings to the community, all the parties, do the parties who run it, are they still interested, or are they still interested, I mean, I don't know, I don't know, you don't know.

215
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:57,980
So as a free board, you would like us to reach out to them and see if we can like something out if they're still interested in doing it for this festival.

216
00:15:58,580 --> 00:16:08,480
Yes, and I would like going forward because Bonnie and Clyde, like you pointed out, isn't even on our list to talk about today or agenda to talk about.

217
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,960
I would think that would be standard until we get to Bonnie and Clyde.

218
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:20,660
Hey, these things need to be discussed or this is the latest with what we've done.

219
00:16:20,660 --> 00:16:26,660
And I feel like we weren't even going to hear about those soap blocks thing today, unless I brought it up.

220
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,000
And I feel like that's the big thing that should have been discussed before it was decided.

221
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:43,210
So I don't know what you guys's direction has been from the powers that be.

222
00:16:43,530 --> 00:16:51,430
But I feel like it continues to be anything to get us out of here in the journey on a Monday

223
00:16:51,430 --> 00:16:59,210
at the first part of the month, just, and I love this, but this right here, I love it, but this

224
00:16:59,210 --> 00:17:09,870
is awfully reminiscent of the thing that Council, when we were directly asked by citizens about

225
00:17:09,870 --> 00:17:16,630
the investigation with our previous police chief, and instead of answering those, we were given

226
00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:26,550
And whatever that was, that was like a forget what it was, but it was like named, it was

227
00:17:26,550 --> 00:17:29,950
some kind of report, but it didn't really answer the questions that were being asked.

228
00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:35,350
It was like, um, and by the way, we've made 32 at Rerez or whatever, it was like a, I forget

229
00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:37,470
the name of it, but it was like a 10th of a user report.

230
00:17:37,650 --> 00:17:42,030
Yeah, it was, I don't, I don't remember the direct name of it, is it 360 report, that's what

231
00:17:42,030 --> 00:17:42,370
it was.

232
00:17:42,370 --> 00:17:53,450
This is awfully reminiscent of that in the fact that it's pretty to look at, and it has words on it, but they're not necessarily substantial.

233
00:17:55,570 --> 00:17:58,510
It's just like, placating the people that might be interested.

234
00:17:59,710 --> 00:18:01,490
So, that's my feedback on that.

235
00:18:01,490 --> 00:18:10,590
But I do think that moving forward, bunning Clyde, Christmas, Halloween, all of our events need to be on our agenda every time,

236
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:17,690
so that we're constantly in discussion of recent things or, you know, it may be a quick

237
00:18:17,690 --> 00:18:18,110
change.

238
00:18:18,110 --> 00:18:22,010
Change the sport from the mainstream board back to just the historic board if the city wants

239
00:18:22,010 --> 00:18:25,230
to make the decisions without going through the mainstream board.

240
00:18:25,330 --> 00:18:27,290
Well, they're required to have a mainstream board.

241
00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:29,970
So I feel like what's the kind of record?

242
00:18:30,990 --> 00:18:34,190
We're just here for the reason of saying that we have a mainstream board.

243
00:18:34,190 --> 00:18:34,850
The course.

244
00:18:34,970 --> 00:18:35,530
Check the box.

245
00:18:36,850 --> 00:18:41,730
So, I'm going to, and just so you know, I'm going to make it known every time I sit here

246
00:18:41,730 --> 00:18:45,090
because I cannot abide it happening anymore.

247
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:50,610
So, I thought it would change with you guys, but it seems like it has it, and again, not at all

248
00:18:50,610 --> 00:18:54,990
upset with you guys, but it does feel like the direction to the person that handles this board

249
00:18:54,990 --> 00:18:56,830
is too handle this board.

250
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,860
I want to go back if I can about the cell box derby specifically.

251
00:19:04,860 --> 00:19:15,420
It was a huge thing for a very long time, huge, and then like many things, through no fault of its own, it leaned out.

252
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:16,520
We got that.

253
00:19:16,620 --> 00:19:17,160
We know that.

254
00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:18,180
We see that.

255
00:19:20,430 --> 00:19:23,550
But then there seemed to be a little rebirth a few years back.

256
00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:26,690
And everybody was getting their sea legs again.

257
00:19:27,070 --> 00:19:32,270
And in my fantasy world, what was going to happen is it was going to,

258
00:19:32,270 --> 00:19:45,670
Everybody new day, new slate, some new carpenter shops and all, that maybe they would step up and do it again, because it was a great thing.

259
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:47,130
It's a great thing.

260
00:19:47,250 --> 00:19:49,890
And the subbox therapy, it's a national thing.

261
00:19:50,330 --> 00:19:54,190
We've had one of their big wings come to watch hours.

262
00:19:54,190 --> 00:20:23,970
So it's all good, so all of that is good, it also carries a bit of history and I do believe that with what this town is facing with its growth, that doesn't mean, believe me, nobody clings harder to all crap than I do, I own that, but there is something to be said about history and institutional knowledge and nostalgia and all of that.

263
00:20:23,970 --> 00:20:29,350
So I'm looking at all of that in the plus column, it's in a plus column.

264
00:20:31,090 --> 00:20:35,830
I have no idea about costs, that's not my thing.

265
00:20:36,990 --> 00:20:40,910
I'm thinking, well, I believe it was 99.9% volunteer.

266
00:20:41,210 --> 00:20:45,050
So there was no huge outlay for, hey, bales or whatever.

267
00:20:45,230 --> 00:20:45,670
Wait, wait, wait.

268
00:20:46,850 --> 00:20:49,290
I'm looking for the downside.

269
00:20:49,710 --> 00:20:52,830
I'm looking for the reason to not allow it to.

270
00:20:57,330 --> 00:21:04,370
We're trying to allow more parking, also the last few years it has not been widely attended

271
00:21:04,970 --> 00:21:08,150
because we had eyes on it.

272
00:21:08,330 --> 00:21:09,390
And we are moving in a little bit.

273
00:21:09,810 --> 00:21:12,990
We have numbers because I can assure you when they wasn't keeping numbers.

274
00:21:13,570 --> 00:21:16,430
Because I've asked her for numbers, even from our downtown emergency.

275
00:21:16,630 --> 00:21:21,110
She was a keeper when you're at the festival and there's a feature set up down there.

276
00:21:21,110 --> 00:21:22,990
I don't use the bleachers.

277
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:23,910
I don't use the bleachers.

278
00:21:23,930 --> 00:21:25,090
We just wore them.

279
00:21:25,090 --> 00:21:29,590
I'm just going to be more perspective whenever we were training and shadowing with Wendy last year.

280
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:31,650
There just wasn't a lot happening down there.

281
00:21:32,010 --> 00:21:34,170
And we did have a really big problem with parking.

282
00:21:34,850 --> 00:21:38,270
And so we were like, what if we utilize all of this parking?

283
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:40,250
Then we knew that down.

284
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:44,470
At the community center of the library and the public works area.

285
00:21:44,930 --> 00:21:46,890
So this conversation should have been happened.

286
00:21:46,890 --> 00:21:52,950
happen or should have had, Ben had, sorry, with the board, I feel like you bring that information

287
00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:59,870
and you say that and say, this is why we propose either getting rid of it or moving it.

288
00:21:59,870 --> 00:22:00,310
Moving it.

289
00:22:00,510 --> 00:22:04,590
Because I think we would have all said what's a different place that we can put it because

290
00:22:04,590 --> 00:22:11,290
it is a fan favorite throughout the community with kids in general, but can fit in those

291
00:22:11,290 --> 00:22:11,810
cars.

292
00:22:11,810 --> 00:22:26,130
And it is a small group of kids that can and we'll do it, but we also have aged out kids that love the experience that they'll never have an experience like that ever because it's not an experience and it's an experience

293
00:22:26,130 --> 00:22:29,890
two granddaughters that built some of those cars that bring their

294
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:58,260
One would have to wonder if the powers that the last four or five years, pick a number, in recent times, had had a positive feeling about it, and a heartfelt feeling, all those numbers may have been different. We will. If everybody's pulling on the same roll, putting your energy and your good thoughts into,

295
00:22:59,740 --> 00:23:05,960
some activity that one is probably going to do well probably. If it's just a

296
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:13,600
year maybe not so much so it was that a fault was that a fault of the so-box

297
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:22,040
derby itself as an entity or was that the fault of previous controllers who

298
00:23:23,020 --> 00:23:25,140
didn't emphasize the soapbox degree.

299
00:23:25,420 --> 00:23:28,600
We don't know, but we can all figure out

300
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,880
how that may or may not have worked with it.

301
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:34,520
I guess I, again, I want to cling to things

302
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,760
that speak to some of our, we're not just a carnival.

303
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:49,140
And so some things that speak to our past isn't about that.

304
00:23:49,140 --> 00:23:57,800
And that's, you know, I think that might be one of the items that would speak to pilot point.

305
00:23:58,220 --> 00:23:58,240
Yeah.

306
00:23:58,540 --> 00:24:06,120
And I'm going to say, I don't care one way or another as far as box car or no box car.

307
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:14,300
I had my biggest gripe is that it was not discussed in here so that we could have the information why the decisions being talked about.

308
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:16,300
We could discuss. We could

309
00:24:17,180 --> 00:24:24,180
Part-lay our own experience because we are actually out on the street. It's not it's not just windy in the past few years

310
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,080
We're out there. I was out there too. Yeah, so we have we have some insight as well

311
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:37,180
But it's just it's just the fact that when we're talking about changing the events or when we're even like

312
00:24:37,620 --> 00:24:42,720
Changing the time proposing new things. I feel like that is why this board exists

313
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,520
If not, what are we supposed to be in here for?

314
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,120
If we're not talking about the mainstream events,

315
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:57,400
and having input and discussing what those things look like ahead of time,

316
00:24:57,940 --> 00:25:03,380
if not, I'm very curious as to why we're even here.

317
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,740
Okay, so here's what we're going to do.

318
00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:09,860
Again, I'm going to reach out to them, the soapbox,

319
00:25:09,860 --> 00:25:14,240
and talk to them about it and I will let y'all know what they say at the next meeting.

320
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:22,320
Like, told you last time, 2026, we needed a lock-in to get the, you know, the make the difference

321
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:28,480
that we needed to not get the same openers, the same old music acts, the same old anything,

322
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:37,060
and we needed to move the same forward. And that's what we did. My apologies that, you know, we didn't

323
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:42,900
break it down more for y'all when we did the presentation and if you guys want to talk about

324
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:48,880
Bonnie and Clyde and the rest of the events going forward each time we meet we definitely

325
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:55,660
can do that. Yeah and the history of this board we've done it in every meeting call of eternity

326
00:25:55,660 --> 00:26:02,800
we talk about every single event every single meeting. That is not necessary. So I was going to say so

327
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:09,780
on me like I had nothing new to say about them so I didn't like, but there was that new thing to say that's fair.

328
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,880
I, you know, you should just live on there and then you can say, we have nothing on that.

329
00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:23,020
And if we did hear something or whatever then we can bring it and it's already on the agenda and we can make sure.

330
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:32,780
I was asked this, what's going on here and then you know that makes us ambassadors to the community as well because when people come up to me and say that you know,

331
00:26:32,780 --> 00:26:49,760
No, I don't know what's going on, and I probably should, you know, it could be a simple thing of, you know, in years past, we're not seeing a lot of involvement in that, we think that parking is enough, you know what I mean?

332
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,520
Like then I'm not dealing with a frustrated citizen.

333
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,080
Or come to this board and say, we're going to have a one more time

334
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:01,300
let's push it, see if we can help those old men who are loading and unloading

335
00:27:01,300 --> 00:27:06,300
hay bales because I load S the hay while I'm working this event, I load S the hay.

336
00:27:06,620 --> 00:27:11,340
Because the teenagers who volunteer to get their hours leave and then you have a man with

337
00:27:11,340 --> 00:27:17,640
robot legs, a man with a broken leg, and 85-year-old man, a lot of old men who were

338
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,920
there because they fundraise in their free time.

339
00:27:24,630 --> 00:27:29,830
Yeah, so yeah, but anyway, so if we can add those to the agenda and then

340
00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:39,110
You know, yeah, I get it that things needed to happen and they probably were backed up in a pipeline

341
00:27:39,110 --> 00:27:43,910
But I hope that moving forward will start being more

342
00:27:45,090 --> 00:27:49,350
part of it, you know, a little more communication. Yeah,

343
00:27:55,980 --> 00:27:58,860
so we still have some report to go

344
00:28:00,460 --> 00:28:09,760
I think the Ninja Project is very cool, it's the Ninja Project, I think that's very cool, and I think a lot of kids will really like that.

345
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,800
Are we, where are we putting it?

346
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,400
It'll be in the grassy area on next to the ice house.

347
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,240
So over here.

348
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,820
I mean, just staying on like Bonnie and Clyde.

349
00:28:23,180 --> 00:28:26,300
Do we have a plan for a little pocket park? Do we have an idea?

350
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:27,540
do we,

351
00:28:29,780 --> 00:28:32,180
as far as the event in like, utilizing this?

352
00:28:32,300 --> 00:28:33,760
Utilizing it?

353
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,460
Yes, I'm at a standstill in that,

354
00:28:36,580 --> 00:28:39,060
because there's a couple of different ideas that are.

355
00:28:39,060 --> 00:28:42,260
We could put up a projector, since it's an evening event,

356
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:44,660
and play, I don't know about the rights of the movie

357
00:28:44,660 --> 00:28:45,300
and all that stuff.

358
00:28:45,380 --> 00:28:48,200
No, you're good, I'm laughing because that's

359
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,920
one of the conversations about that area.

360
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,640
So it's one way or another is going to be a place where

361
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,680
people would be able to go sit and enjoy.

362
00:28:57,940 --> 00:29:07,060
Or maybe if we can't get the right to the movie, we can still possibly as a projector and put old pictures of them filming when they were here,

363
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:12,940
depending on what else those, even old pictures that probably believe that those things are interesting to people.

364
00:29:15,780 --> 00:29:20,320
And then, are we going to talk about flower festival now?

365
00:29:27,490 --> 00:29:35,510
So flower festival, it was very cold and breezy, but all but I think two of our vendors

366
00:29:35,510 --> 00:29:38,610
showed up that morning, so that was wonderful, that was a great turnout.

367
00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:44,550
There is a metrics page here that says Easter egg hunt on it that tells you the number

368
00:29:44,550 --> 00:29:51,670
of people that visited, that's through the Flacer AI that uses my phone data, somehow to

369
00:29:51,670 --> 00:29:52,970
tell us how many people came.

370
00:29:53,690 --> 00:29:59,970
So what I did is you'll see the date range says March 27 to March 29 and then I just asked it to only give us that

371
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,320
May, between 8 and 1, just to see who was out there during that time frame. So this is the whole square.

372
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:13,520
No. It includes all the way out to Old City Park so that it included the easter, I kind of.

373
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,740
Okay. But yes, it's basically all of the square, including that area of the park.

374
00:30:20,220 --> 00:30:25,060
And so there were 787 visits, which was 781 visitors total.

375
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,700
And it says they stayed about 92 minutes, so that's pretty great.

376
00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:31,820
That is great.

377
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,740
I could not figure out how to give us the year over year numbers.

378
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,360
So I will work on that.

379
00:30:38,140 --> 00:30:40,060
I was trying, but I could not figure it out.

380
00:30:40,340 --> 00:30:42,320
Yeah, because it may give you different date on the calendar.

381
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:43,360
I think you're right.

382
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,680
I don't know how to play.

383
00:30:45,820 --> 00:30:46,500
I don't know how to play to play.

384
00:30:46,860 --> 00:30:48,300
This is actually BTA news.

385
00:30:49,860 --> 00:30:51,300
Tell me what I'm thinking.

386
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,080
So, overall, I felt like far festival was successful.

387
00:30:57,140 --> 00:31:00,280
I'd love to hear y'all's feedback and what you saw on your side.

388
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,880
I have one note about our vendor check-in, and yes, I know the information gets pulled.

389
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:11,320
Pushed out to them and email and all the stuff about where to come into this square,

390
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:17,080
but most of the time they send their cousin that weekend, you know,

391
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,280
and they use their GPS and then they get confused because there's no way to get to it.

392
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:34,360
So those little political plastic signs, if we just put vendor with an arrow, some of them go on to the right, some of them go into the left, and then we can just move wherever, wherever that entrance will be to the square.

393
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:50,580
We can block off that Washington, that arrow goes to the left or right wherever, and then we can just push them that way so that they're not like, oh, I don't know where to go, because I even had that on Saturday morning, I had an older gentleman going, I don't know how to get in there.

394
00:31:50,580 --> 00:31:56,100
So we got a chat, but I felt like easy, just vendor with the arrow, we can use them at all

395
00:31:56,100 --> 00:31:56,760
or a bit.

396
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,020
I felt like it was mostly pretty smooth.

397
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,840
We didn't have parked cars on the square, and people just driving through when they weren't

398
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:04,940
supposed to be.

399
00:32:05,180 --> 00:32:05,740
You know what?

400
00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:12,960
I've done it a few times now, directing people, you know, just the nature of our square,

401
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:19,180
and where we are between two major roads and all, it's awkward, I don't care, how you look

402
00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:20,560
at it, or what kind of GPS.

403
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,740
thing you've got. It is a little bit awkward. So yeah, I'll be a couple of folks

404
00:32:25,260 --> 00:32:29,780
circling the wagons, but I think they'll ultimately end up. So I don't.

405
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,180
It's never tragic. It's never a big scream and deal. Someone may turn left.

406
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,060
They need to turn right. And you're never more than a half a mile from your destination.

407
00:32:38,340 --> 00:32:39,740
So I think we just carry on.

408
00:32:40,700 --> 00:32:42,000
And the signs are so cheap.

409
00:32:42,140 --> 00:32:44,720
They're pretty eight dollars. So you know, forty dollars.

410
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,060
And we have a smoother. It makes us better.

411
00:32:48,060 --> 00:32:51,900
there was no or professional to people makes it easier on them.

412
00:32:52,540 --> 00:32:57,120
The other thing I was gonna say was, oh, feedback was,

413
00:32:57,780 --> 00:33:00,040
her flower festival, fuck up, there's no flowers.

414
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,140
There were so many flowers.

415
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:02,960
There were flowers.

416
00:33:03,380 --> 00:33:06,460
We had DNA, we had joy filled in.

417
00:33:06,460 --> 00:33:10,240
I can't read it in, wasn't there, but like, somebody always says,

418
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,040
somebody said there's one place that's selling flowers.

419
00:33:13,300 --> 00:33:16,120
And I was like, okay, you know, I can't remember who it was.

420
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:21,360
It was just somebody that I know in the community that came up to me the day of the event.

421
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:28,180
But I would, you know, if we can up our budget, whatever budget season, because I know it's like 4,000.

422
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,580
Is there a total or something like that?

423
00:33:30,060 --> 00:33:30,880
I don't know.

424
00:33:31,340 --> 00:33:31,360
Okay.

425
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,400
What Wendy has told us in the past was of 4,000.

426
00:33:35,660 --> 00:33:41,420
But if we can up our budget as we move, because that's our only spring, real big event.

427
00:33:41,420 --> 00:33:46,760
It would be great to start upping that budget every year, a little bit, a little bit, and just

428
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:54,320
build that into something good, especially with the feedback from our young, really arms residents

429
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,460
for our promotions committee.

430
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:03,720
They said on weekends, they absolutely look for something going away from Prisco, because they fight

431
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:09,140
that traffic all week long and they really do want to come up and be here because it's a simpler

432
00:34:09,140 --> 00:34:15,780
drive that that easier time on them. So I think we could really make that into something and

433
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,960
keep building on it. You know, the Easter egg is definitely not for everyone. It's for our little

434
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:28,800
town. And I think that I'm going to say it's a record time this year. It was like it was quick four

435
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:34,680
minutes. I had everything picked up. Can I ask a question first? So

436
00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:39,220
just I just want to clarify. Does

437
00:34:39,220 --> 00:34:45,680
Increasing the budget help us get more flowers on the square. Is that what we're treating the budget meeting making it a bigger event every year?

438
00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:50,480
Just making it like that to be our our spring Bonnie and Clyde are

439
00:34:50,940 --> 00:34:56,320
You know, and if you did in and Texas tulips have taken turns maybe coming occasionally

440
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:01,620
We've never had both of them at the same time, and they always say they will and then they can't

441
00:35:02,140 --> 00:35:06,660
But are you talking about the strawberry form? No, we did in and a tulips. Okay. Yeah

442
00:35:06,660 --> 00:35:10,460
Because we have the strawberry farm too, but then they opened like historically early,

443
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,180
and we're like, we can't miss those things.

444
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,400
That's going to be the case for the two of us and everything.

445
00:35:14,780 --> 00:35:19,920
It's their wildest memories, everything changes, and you never know when it's going to happen.

446
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:25,800
Well, I was going to say, so the flower festival being marbony and kind of because,

447
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,160
and this is, I've said this before in our meetings, nobody else has a flower festival.

448
00:35:32,100 --> 00:35:35,860
Nobody has a town event really that is like that.

449
00:35:35,860 --> 00:35:38,740
And we can really turn that into something.

450
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,780
If you go online and look at like, um,

451
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,660
arboretums, um, mad hat or tea,

452
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,200
they have, flower paths or whatever,

453
00:35:48,740 --> 00:35:50,860
um, people have loved that for years.

454
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,620
But there's nothing like that up here.

455
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,380
There's also, you know, ladies,

456
00:35:55,540 --> 00:35:59,260
day out, that kind of crowd that would come up

457
00:35:59,260 --> 00:36:01,540
for those Insta-Tops, Insta-Sops,

458
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,420
if we really had some beautiful picture stops,

459
00:36:04,420 --> 00:36:10,860
They're sticking around their buying flowers or you know like it's not just planters, but also cut flowers

460
00:36:10,860 --> 00:36:18,960
If it's something like that you and these are all just ideas of how we can grow this event in a market place

461
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:24,020
That we're not up against Cinco to miles and other towns. We're not up a gut against like

462
00:36:24,020 --> 00:36:26,920
Trudeau festival kind of things because

463
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,880
Yes, that that would be great for our town. I think people would love that

464
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,780
but Solina offers the exact same event and it's already a bigger event.

465
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:41,040
I'm just talking about the type of event that can be a spring event that nobody else has

466
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:41,280
anything.

467
00:36:41,540 --> 00:36:48,940
I love that we have this idea that's still kind of in the egg that nobody else has ever had.

468
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:55,040
Yeah, but we have the tulip, the tulip farm, which people are starting more and more

469
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,900
exponentially to know that's in pilot pointless tulip farm.

470
00:36:58,900 --> 00:37:00,600
And people are coming from everywhere.

471
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,780
It would be great if we could make them partners.

472
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,860
I know there's, you know, just over.

473
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,220
And yeah.

474
00:37:10,380 --> 00:37:14,240
So it would be great to build upon that.

475
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,780
It's like, it's like our best part of the tournament

476
00:37:18,780 --> 00:37:22,420
that came, we have this lake here.

477
00:37:22,620 --> 00:37:25,380
And we have this, and nobody else has it.

478
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,280
I feel that way about our flower festival.

479
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,960
I think it's just got so much better.

480
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,740
Central for us to make it into something. That's what I mean about building the budget.

481
00:37:35,140 --> 00:37:38,160
I think we could do more with the bonnet to.

482
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:47,000
I mean, it was a lot bigger when somebody was promoting it and sponsoring it.

483
00:37:48,180 --> 00:37:55,000
What do we ask the florists? Like the one here in the one in Aubrey, if they would be interested in

484
00:37:56,300 --> 00:38:00,020
Sponsoring the body context, I sit down with them, do anything but put their name on it, you know?

485
00:38:01,140 --> 00:38:08,440
Maybe we could even get some people have some boosts where kids can come and create on it, and things like that.

486
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:14,000
I mean, there's more opportunity to promote...

487
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:27,160
It was a kind of an event time, we're all aware of that, the week prior and such, but after that fact,

488
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:34,260
Eva Cunningham had talked about the bonnet contest, and apparently they were here for the one that was epic.

489
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:40,540
And she said, I want to do that. She said, I want, I want rooted in to make that happen.

490
00:38:40,540 --> 00:38:46,340
So she has, she is at least one person who has already a year out offered to

491
00:38:46,340 --> 00:38:47,120
promote that.

492
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:52,000
Make that happen and I think that's all good.

493
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:58,900
I did have a constructive criticism from a neighbor, she doesn't have kids.

494
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,780
She was reading about it and he saw it online and you know the whole thing and she said,

495
00:39:04,780 --> 00:39:08,840
Well, we didn't go, it felt like it was really

496
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,820
kids' centric or Easter egg, whatever.

497
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,680
So, and I said, well, no, that was only for like five minutes.

498
00:39:17,220 --> 00:39:21,500
She said, well, maybe that's true, but the way I read it,

499
00:39:21,780 --> 00:39:25,420
it was all of that and just a little bit of something else.

500
00:39:26,020 --> 00:39:30,540
So, maybe directing a little more attention on that.

501
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,200
I don't know.

502
00:39:31,380 --> 00:39:33,840
But part of my vision, she didn't know.

503
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:34,320
I know.

504
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:35,820
I will show.

505
00:39:36,260 --> 00:39:36,340
I see.

506
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:37,380
Maybe that.

507
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,980
Because I know originally, it started as a community only like whatever we call them

508
00:39:41,980 --> 00:39:43,420
that it wasn't a bigger event.

509
00:39:43,860 --> 00:39:44,820
It's more important for the people.

510
00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:52,940
If we kind of take the Easter egg stuff off of our marketing that goes out further, and just

511
00:39:52,940 --> 00:39:54,440
flower festival it up.

512
00:39:54,640 --> 00:40:00,480
Because that Easter egg event is really just for the grid streets pilot point, right?

513
00:40:00,580 --> 00:40:02,700
I mean, stuff from out it, just not.

514
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:04,700
Like, well, yeah, two different things.

515
00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:05,560
Promoting my minutes.

516
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,120
This flower festival, and then we have our Easter egg,

517
00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:10,280
and this goes out the smaller way,

518
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:11,860
and this goes out the bigger way.

519
00:40:12,180 --> 00:40:13,720
But I was thinking, like, even, you know,

520
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,080
it would be lovely in the future.

521
00:40:16,220 --> 00:40:18,560
Tablic and main stage, and then we have

522
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,060
the master gardeners doing presentations there.

523
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,080
Like, how rooted in those on their social media,

524
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,420
and they go, these Texas natives are really great

525
00:40:27,420 --> 00:40:28,700
for drought tolerance.

526
00:40:28,700 --> 00:40:30,940
If you're looking for, you know,

527
00:40:30,940 --> 00:40:38,460
flowering, garden, spring, whatever, you know, and we have different little 15-minute increments

528
00:40:38,460 --> 00:40:44,180
on that going through, coming from the stage, then we can invite whatever dance, whatever

529
00:40:44,180 --> 00:40:47,740
troops between or start right in between as well.

530
00:40:48,340 --> 00:40:55,090
I think that would make it into, you know, flexible with the different clouds.

531
00:40:55,090 --> 00:41:00,530
His gardeners is cut flowers, is, you know,

532
00:41:00,670 --> 00:41:02,430
farmers market with vendors.

533
00:41:03,270 --> 00:41:05,350
And then it's a bigger event

534
00:41:05,350 --> 00:41:07,930
than just, we have the Easter egg hunt.

535
00:41:08,510 --> 00:41:13,030
The Denton County, there was a master garden here,

536
00:41:13,190 --> 00:41:13,650
food, right?

537
00:41:13,970 --> 00:41:14,230
Yes.

538
00:41:14,610 --> 00:41:15,030
I'm telling you.

539
00:41:15,490 --> 00:41:18,030
But if I remember correctly,

540
00:41:18,850 --> 00:41:21,490
it was jammed in at 10 by 10.

541
00:41:21,890 --> 00:41:25,070
They had no tent, no identification, no sandwich sign,

542
00:41:25,070 --> 00:41:32,230
no banner, and two ladies sitting at a table. Now that's not anybody's fault, but that was the end result.

543
00:41:35,890 --> 00:41:42,750
And you just zip by it to look at the freeze-dry stickers bar or whatever. You know, it just didn't do that.

544
00:41:43,450 --> 00:41:56,470
So if we were going to put more emphasis on that, maybe we have a banner, or we set aside a little alcohol for planting instructions,

545
00:41:56,470 --> 00:42:03,290
only isolating it and making it special or something I don't I just because I

546
00:42:03,290 --> 00:42:06,510
did notice the ladies and nobody was there they just had another

547
00:42:06,510 --> 00:42:13,450
lady come in and they're all match adding and it didn't it didn't work they were

548
00:42:13,450 --> 00:42:18,630
there but it didn't provide a service or if you've ever been there if you don't know

549
00:42:18,630 --> 00:42:24,330
what they do to don't work right and that's kind of so maybe helping them yeah

550
00:42:24,330 --> 00:42:50,490
Yeah, I went to like Arlington to a home depot because a master gardener was going to be there, and they did a presentation, and then I did buy to flowering drought, all around trees that were small, but I learned what they were through Texas agro-life and all that stuff, but that was me learning on my own, because I had an interest in it.

551
00:42:50,490 --> 00:42:57,670
How do we convey that and what they do to the average person walking by that hasn't done the research?

552
00:42:58,330 --> 00:43:01,350
Well, we give them a microphone, we give it, you know, like a little place.

553
00:43:01,670 --> 00:43:08,890
We can do those promo videos with, through to then, leading towards the event or other nurseries we have hotels.

554
00:43:09,130 --> 00:43:14,330
We could even do it with the master gardeners that they may or may not be sending.

555
00:43:14,610 --> 00:43:20,430
Just those things kind of leading to the event because then you get that feel of what they are.

556
00:43:20,430 --> 00:43:23,450
what service they provide and they're so knowledgeable.

557
00:43:24,310 --> 00:43:25,650
So what would you need for that?

558
00:43:25,830 --> 00:43:28,450
More time, more money, more bodies, what would you need?

559
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:38,120
I think it starts with, so just to reflect on what you said about this is how they showed up.

560
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:39,840
They had no, they had nothing.

561
00:43:40,620 --> 00:43:47,400
So I can't make them do it, but I could certainly provide the opportunity and say we would

562
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,640
like for you to give a presentation at this time, you know, et cetera.

563
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:55,980
I think, as I mean, we have the setup, we have the PA system, we have all that kind of stuff.

564
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:02,380
Yeah, I don't know that I would need anything additional other than their active participation and involvement.

565
00:44:03,300 --> 00:44:04,160
So, okay, so yeah.

566
00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:15,280
I'm harming out a moment and adding some flu to their, or, you know, this city is a little short on cannabis.

567
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:22,060
If I remember correctly, there's a lot of spit and chewing gum and prayer keeping the ones we have together.

568
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:28,320
So, I mean, maybe, I don't know. I don't know about that, but is that, is that the answer?

569
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:34,640
I mean, anytime you see a little island of goodies isolated or right there, you're drawn to it,

570
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:39,920
if it's especially if it's got cute things to look at, pretty things to look at. So, anyway.

571
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:46,950
So it could be time, maybe if the city will, in the future, invest in

572
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:55,560
Cannabis that could be utilized for many things, not just one gardening show.

573
00:44:55,940 --> 00:44:57,600
But there's a possibility there.

574
00:44:57,720 --> 00:44:59,020
So there's a little money involved.

575
00:45:01,540 --> 00:45:11,320
We could start, you know, we would do a banner, obviously, that said what this is, that had like the schedule of what we're going to do, that sort of thing. I think those are lovely ideas.

576
00:45:11,820 --> 00:45:16,540
I feel like it's starting more budget. I'm sure that's all being good thing.

577
00:45:17,020 --> 00:45:18,200
I'm always saying more, I'm running.

578
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:24,460
We had, if we had, and it's not to say, give us more money. It's like, what are we going to focus on?

579
00:45:24,460 --> 00:45:31,280
our big things, what needs to drop off the list, right? And that I feel like would be one that

580
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:37,640
we want to push to the front of the line to be more focused because it's got unlimited potential.

581
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:43,740
I just bet springtime, I mean, obviously not this last one that was called an overcast,

582
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:49,160
but like yesterday, when we get that good day, everybody goes, oh my gosh, let's get outside

583
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,920
and we have that and nobody else has something like that.

584
00:45:52,920 --> 00:46:02,820
So adding to my presentations and all, okay, so don't laugh but the state fair comes to my mind is that you have a schedule.

585
00:46:03,180 --> 00:46:09,040
I mean, these are vendors for the most part and there's a schedule that is put out there.

586
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:14,400
So people that are attending look at it and see what they want to go to those particular presentations.

587
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,500
So it's vendors and all that are doing the presentations.

588
00:46:17,500 --> 00:46:24,440
It just, you know, somebody that has something worthwhile to say and to share and showcasing

589
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:31,240
something of theirs and then that can say we're located, you know, after they are finished.

590
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,660
But have they had shares of life roses and they're going to...

591
00:46:34,660 --> 00:46:39,720
But if that's the case then we have to find out how to display their number where it's not under

592
00:46:39,720 --> 00:46:40,460
their feet.

593
00:46:40,780 --> 00:46:45,220
If we're sending people to, you know, it's Rosie's Rose Booth.

594
00:46:45,660 --> 00:47:01,080
We don't want to make a central place that they go to.

595
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,780
Like if we have a day sign and name, if we have a vendor.

596
00:47:04,620 --> 00:47:07,000
So this is like a wishful thinking, right?

597
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:07,740
I know we don't have a budget.

598
00:47:08,180 --> 00:47:11,960
We had the same kind of stage set up, like we do body and client.

599
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,760
We invite our vendors. We've got the ingredient.

600
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,820
We're going to talk about throughout the world.

601
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,540
We have chairs that can't be seen.

602
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,220
And O Bell's is rose bushes.

603
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,700
And then, you know, so-and-so, how to range flowers.

604
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,460
Like, Aubrey Flores is coming up.

605
00:47:30,700 --> 00:47:32,200
And this is how you're range flowers.

606
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,300
And we have all of those things.

607
00:47:34,820 --> 00:47:38,300
And then they have their own bridal vendor.

608
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,660
But everybody stays at the main stage

609
00:47:40,660 --> 00:47:49,380
to see these different presentations that they know about ahead of time what they're going to go with and more they just stopped in or they're here because their dance crew was

610
00:47:49,380 --> 00:48:03,560
and it's not in one right after the other that you in our service with a dance crew for something like that so that people have time then to go visit their both and also it's kind of pulling drawing them into

611
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:16,680
But they are actually presenting, you know, everybody would be willing to do that, but I think that there would be quite a few that could come up with something that they can present to encourage people to come to my booth and talk to me.

612
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:22,740
Well, if they have that much buy-in that they're willing to do a presentation then maybe they don't back out to you.

613
00:48:22,740 --> 00:48:27,280
Yeah, if we give them, if we build it, they will come, right?

614
00:48:27,420 --> 00:48:32,500
And it's a, it's a, a, re-advertising, and I think it's great.

615
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:40,620
I did an event like this years ago, my past life, but it was, it was a kind of like trade show, right?

616
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,080
But so and so vendor was, it was beauty products.

617
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:51,220
So and so vendors on stage for 10, 10, 30, and they came out and they didn't, this is the latest quality block.

618
00:48:51,220 --> 00:48:56,500
That's how hair show these are now, yes, the full day of, from 1130 to 1230 red

619
00:48:56,500 --> 00:49:01,620
can's shown off their hair spray, and then this hair clippers are going to do men's

620
00:49:01,620 --> 00:49:02,220
hair cuts.

621
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:08,460
But it cost, it cost as nothing, it cost them just showing up and pushing your product,

622
00:49:09,060 --> 00:49:16,780
but it creates interest for the consumer and some bit of knowledge, you know, as I'm wrapping

623
00:49:16,780 --> 00:49:21,040
a lot of this up in my head, I'm thinking a couple of things, if you have a bunch of

624
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:27,160
a couple of kids, E, that is all they want to do is chase that egg and that rush of excited

625
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:33,060
and everyone's squealing and going crazy and they're all happy. Then mom drags them over here

626
00:49:33,060 --> 00:49:42,460
and they touch stuff for what an hour, you know, all the hour. Then those kids are done and they're

627
00:49:42,460 --> 00:49:46,980
now they're going to make everyone miserable. So as smart mother says, Kitnikar, Missy, work

628
00:49:46,980 --> 00:49:54,090
and home. So we've got that problem in itself. So we can't fix it. We just have to manage it.

629
00:49:55,780 --> 00:50:00,480
So that's something that all of those fabulous ideas that we just all talked about,

630
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:05,800
every one of them is great. But how does that have the answers I only have questions?

631
00:50:06,300 --> 00:50:15,180
How does that kind of we fix that? That's two different. That's two different. We need to

632
00:50:15,180 --> 00:50:16,980
Can you get the kids on here?

633
00:50:17,540 --> 00:50:18,240
I can't.

634
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:19,700
Yeah, if you all talk at once.

635
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,580
I say we have Easter.

636
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,200
And that's just our little small, whatever.

637
00:50:25,860 --> 00:50:27,180
And while we're festival.

638
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,620
And it doesn't have to be the same day anymore.

639
00:50:30,020 --> 00:50:34,260
That pushes us away from that weekend before Easter that

640
00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:37,680
we're up against all the other Easter eggs.

641
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,560
Hunts and carnivals that are going on in the H.O.A.

642
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,600
Now we've got something that's just a spring event

643
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,260
and we can push it closer to Mother's Day, you know what I mean?

644
00:50:47,380 --> 00:50:50,580
It's just, it's kind of a big deal to put on the Easter egg hunt,

645
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,360
but it only lasts like four minutes.

646
00:50:53,020 --> 00:50:55,080
So that's why it's tied to something else,

647
00:50:55,100 --> 00:50:58,040
because it's like, we really want to provide the Easter egg hunt,

648
00:50:58,300 --> 00:51:01,440
but we need to make it worthwhile for all the stuff that goes into it.

649
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,540
Or then we work two of them in the same month,

650
00:51:03,620 --> 00:51:09,460
which is why we, that's what I understood is why it turned into also having the flower.

651
00:51:09,540 --> 00:51:12,240
I don't know if they ever just only did the Easter egg hunt,

652
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:20,120
But it was like, this was like, you know, however much planning and staffing and roads and whatever they did.

653
00:51:20,780 --> 00:51:26,880
And so that's why it has been incorporated into also having the fire festival so that it just makes it, you know,

654
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,040
you can spend more time and do more stuff.

655
00:51:29,340 --> 00:51:35,080
But I think that we can incorporate a lot of the things that you guys are saying and grow it and improve it.

656
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:41,660
And that's, we're having this conversation now and we actually have time to make those things come to fruition a year for now.

657
00:51:41,660 --> 00:51:49,760
So one can't, the fire festival will be like the main advertising and the, and the, and the easter egg

658
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,380
and story time and be down here in a little box.

659
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:54,280
Yeah, absolutely.

660
00:51:54,640 --> 00:52:02,960
So that being said, then my last suggestion is the timing, it seemed like, I guess I have a straight

661
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:07,860
I felt it was horrible, I mean, I wasn't part of that at all, and then it was just

662
00:52:07,860 --> 00:52:18,280
bam, done, and so, most of the enders were asking for another hour, so I think we're all

663
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:18,440
all.

664
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,500
I think we need to be having the flower festival open before the Easter egg.

665
00:52:22,820 --> 00:52:27,780
Like we had the flower festival open at nine, Easter egg, but at ten and flower festival

666
00:52:27,780 --> 00:52:28,880
over at noon.

667
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:29,980
I think it could.

668
00:52:30,370 --> 00:52:35,170
I respond to the consultation. Senator Prime Minister, Mr. Chairman, please take the announcement, a regular television proposal, our guest will come to last table for 14 years.

669
00:52:36,490 --> 00:52:42,070
I've heard those same thoughts.

670
00:52:43,070 --> 00:52:50,810
When I liked about having the vendors set up and open, we weren't doing checking in while they were children running around.

671
00:52:51,170 --> 00:52:53,630
Because the e-strict has been so quickly.

672
00:52:54,190 --> 00:52:59,050
I really need to be longer. I felt that day, like when we were all closing at noon,

673
00:52:59,050 --> 00:53:07,710
One of my vendors said, are we like on a time limit, can we not just stay open and I was like, well, we are on a time limit in the fact that the streets are going to be reopened because this is what we've planned.

674
00:53:08,550 --> 00:53:11,750
So I agree, I think it easily could have gone to at least one o'clock.

675
00:53:12,830 --> 00:53:18,990
But I do like having the vendors and the whole festival set up before the, you know,

676
00:53:18,990 --> 00:53:21,310
Because we kind of have to split ranks.

677
00:53:22,790 --> 00:53:24,970
Because it's all the same staff doing it.

678
00:53:24,970 --> 00:53:25,870
It wouldn't be different.

679
00:53:26,770 --> 00:53:29,970
They're just there, they're ready, you know.

680
00:53:30,410 --> 00:53:31,870
And Ree said that she and I said,

681
00:53:32,010 --> 00:53:33,830
did you have a lot of kids getting Easter running pictures?

682
00:53:34,070 --> 00:53:38,170
And she's like, not a few because they took them at the park.

683
00:53:38,890 --> 00:53:41,570
And I said, this year, we're not stopping for pictures.

684
00:53:41,770 --> 00:53:42,910
We're going to keep moving.

685
00:53:43,250 --> 00:53:45,910
But even in motion, they show their kid in her arm

686
00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:48,270
and take a picture off of each other and you'd like to do it.

687
00:53:48,270 --> 00:53:49,190
Of course we saw it.

688
00:53:49,230 --> 00:53:53,510
They did not come to the gazebo, and they could not have a model on it.

689
00:53:54,110 --> 00:53:55,050
But I don't know how many of them.

690
00:53:55,050 --> 00:53:59,070
But why couldn't we not do that at El City Park?

691
00:53:59,230 --> 00:53:59,670
We could.

692
00:53:59,890 --> 00:54:02,070
Why could not we set up a photo in it?

693
00:54:02,070 --> 00:54:05,250
And it'd be Rocky there because the kids are there.

694
00:54:06,770 --> 00:54:13,390
It would be nice if we had it outside in the parking spaces as they're waiting in line.

695
00:54:13,610 --> 00:54:14,250
They could.

696
00:54:14,730 --> 00:54:18,190
Did you release the protest, or any, or e-sterboding photos?

697
00:54:19,990 --> 00:54:26,030
Or even in the basketball court area over there, we could have a little bet-drop or something.

698
00:54:27,170 --> 00:54:30,570
Which, that wouldn't work this time, because the way...

699
00:54:30,570 --> 00:54:31,910
Well, the window would have...

700
00:54:31,910 --> 00:54:33,130
You said that.

701
00:54:33,550 --> 00:54:35,150
It says the LA Center, and all.

702
00:54:35,490 --> 00:54:36,090
No, it's not.

703
00:54:36,090 --> 00:54:38,190
That line helps you from a lot of people.

704
00:54:38,790 --> 00:54:43,350
Not really, it's dedicated to the official or dead stage of the line.

705
00:54:43,370 --> 00:54:47,970
But it takes baby over, they got their picture, so it's still waiting for you to do it.

706
00:54:48,150 --> 00:54:50,410
That's what I'm talking about, couldn't I mean, you know?

707
00:54:50,490 --> 00:54:51,790
But they didn't line up until.

708
00:54:53,230 --> 00:54:53,250
Yeah.

709
00:54:53,250 --> 00:54:53,390
Yeah.

710
00:54:53,390 --> 00:54:55,090
I need a way for them to get in.

711
00:54:55,190 --> 00:54:57,190
There was sure it's not, you know.

712
00:54:58,250 --> 00:54:58,490
Yeah.

713
00:54:58,550 --> 00:54:59,690
That's why we're saying it in the end.

714
00:54:59,810 --> 00:55:02,750
Because we, but I didn't hear what you said.

715
00:55:03,090 --> 00:55:03,670
You said something or something.

716
00:55:04,410 --> 00:55:04,990
You know what you got?

717
00:55:04,990 --> 00:55:07,230
I didn't hear what you said.

718
00:55:07,810 --> 00:55:12,430
I was asking, were they parked in the parking spaces at the exit?

719
00:55:13,310 --> 00:55:14,110
That's it?

720
00:55:14,490 --> 00:55:17,970
So, utilizing maybe the basketball court would be good

721
00:55:17,970 --> 00:55:19,110
for the picture taking.

722
00:55:19,910 --> 00:55:24,130
And as far as the alley goes, they're able to get on the liberty

723
00:55:24,130 --> 00:55:27,350
or they won't able to get on the main, because we realize the main.

724
00:55:28,390 --> 00:55:29,990
So, I mean, it's something we look at,

725
00:55:30,750 --> 00:55:33,550
see if there's any kind of way that we can make any kind of adjustments.

726
00:55:33,550 --> 00:55:39,510
But I do like that idea of having to make a check their photos and add also before.

727
00:55:39,510 --> 00:55:43,390
You're going to need concertes of wire from the mangate to the basketball court.

728
00:55:43,590 --> 00:55:45,010
And I'll like to find it.

729
00:55:45,350 --> 00:55:46,430
You got a lot of wire.

730
00:55:47,010 --> 00:55:49,530
Otherwise they'll be, you know, a hard stick.

731
00:55:51,930 --> 00:55:54,530
I like that idea of moving the pictures to the park.

732
00:55:54,830 --> 00:55:55,390
I think that's true.

733
00:55:55,390 --> 00:55:56,130
Because it extended.

734
00:55:56,130 --> 00:55:58,170
I don't think you could do it beforehand, though.

735
00:55:58,470 --> 00:56:01,970
Because after you have the eggs and what you're going to do,

736
00:56:01,970 --> 00:56:14,090
What's the answer there? I mean, they can't come in and take it apart from each other, but I think it would be, I don't really think it would be the line would be all that long.

737
00:56:14,170 --> 00:56:18,110
I think you could get a picture and maybe it pretty fast.

738
00:56:18,510 --> 00:56:19,490
I didn't get them done.

739
00:56:19,530 --> 00:56:21,910
So I said, you guys were kind of on your conversation.

740
00:56:22,050 --> 00:56:28,990
I said, if we have the easter egg bunny, where it's inaccessible before the event, before the easter egg hunt,

741
00:56:28,990 --> 00:56:37,690
And then after the ATA is when they can take a picture at the setup, that may create quite a line for the Easter Bunny to be trapped at the park.

742
00:56:38,730 --> 00:56:40,150
Is that a bad thing? I don't know.

743
00:56:40,490 --> 00:56:41,250
I don't know.

744
00:56:41,330 --> 00:56:42,530
Because she gets trapped.

745
00:56:42,530 --> 00:56:48,730
Because when kids can follow the bunny to the library, I mean to the museum for story time.

746
00:56:49,810 --> 00:56:50,910
Was that a good turnout?

747
00:56:51,150 --> 00:56:51,530
The story time?

748
00:56:51,730 --> 00:56:52,450
It wasn't bad.

749
00:56:52,450 --> 00:56:54,770
I was like, I want to say she said something like 30.

750
00:56:55,130 --> 00:56:55,750
That's awesome.

751
00:56:55,950 --> 00:56:58,810
I was like, you're before we had like less than 10.

752
00:56:59,430 --> 00:57:00,370
So it was good.

753
00:57:04,060 --> 00:57:07,060
Did we have any feedback from our merchants after,

754
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:12,380
I think Allison said that she had a good day.

755
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,820
I'm trying to think somebody did something.

756
00:57:18,820 --> 00:57:19,640
Can you say that?

757
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:21,300
They were not.

758
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:22,840
They were doing okay.

759
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:24,680
I don't know if it was.

760
00:57:24,860 --> 00:57:26,700
I didn't get a final result.

761
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,080
At seven junkies.

762
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:34,980
Okay, they had quite a few come in, so I don't know what the numbers were, you know, but

763
00:57:34,980 --> 00:57:35,680
The windmill

764
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:43,100
I mean, didn't really go wrong with there. Oh my gosh, it was so nice. There you go. Yeah

765
00:57:43,100 --> 00:57:46,840
But I would say not having anything from the stores

766
00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:54,600
Maybe more accessible for them. So I mean, they want you

767
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,040
You know, you don't want to

768
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:02,960
have something for each of these events, it's just going to help them out even more.

769
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,840
So we're not blocking any traffic, any of the traffic.

770
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:06,580
I'm going in there.

771
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,860
Oh, we want them to be successful, but we want our events to be successful.

772
00:58:09,860 --> 00:58:12,580
They have all the other days of the year.

773
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:13,620
That's kind of awesome.

774
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,860
Remind me of the previous Easter things.

775
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:21,680
Was that where the good tarman was or was just that at a market?

776
00:58:22,020 --> 00:58:22,980
I think that was as market.

777
00:58:23,420 --> 00:58:26,480
I don't know that we've had music at the flower festival.

778
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,420
but like why it has a picture.

779
00:58:29,060 --> 00:58:31,480
Thank you.

780
00:58:34,300 --> 00:58:36,560
Any more flower first of all talk, guys?

781
00:58:37,100 --> 00:58:39,680
Okay, so I was you said something about live music.

782
00:58:39,940 --> 00:58:46,640
So that is one way that we switch things around in our budget is instead of paying someone to do live music,

783
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:56,380
which we don't it's not significant, but I use those funds and other to buy the signs that are on the flower poles.

784
00:58:56,380 --> 00:59:03,380
And so I just thought, can music was better than a live performer, just to try it out and see how it worked.

785
00:59:03,780 --> 00:59:09,800
Yeah, you know what? You could hear it. Unfortunately, you know, there's something about pilot point and sound systems.

786
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,360
We have some sort of parallel universe going.

787
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:17,180
Is if you were right there, you could hear a nice faint soft.

788
00:59:17,220 --> 00:59:19,300
And it should be soft. It shouldn't be overwhelming.

789
00:59:19,300 --> 00:59:34,640
But if you move three steps to the left, nothing, so if you had some lovely garden music or something along those lines, it's in less sure underneath the speaker, it's lost, so that's unfortunate.

790
00:59:37,180 --> 00:59:39,340
Okay, but that would happen regardless.

791
00:59:39,780 --> 00:59:42,860
Yeah, open air sound is not easy to write.

792
00:59:43,340 --> 00:59:48,700
Right, I mean, why don't you know, because I, well, I'll say for you.

793
00:59:48,700 --> 00:59:53,760
Are you saying that just as regular feedback or are you or saying that because you'd rather like music?

794
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:59,980
I just happen to like that guitar guy. He has just nice j...

795
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,420
It's all pleasant music, which you can't not like.

796
01:00:04,340 --> 01:00:09,320
And I could remember, if he was there, because I just remembered, the weather's nice when I'm listening to him.

797
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,920
Was that, yeah, so that was my gift.

798
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:17,500
I'm just happening to know which gentlemen, because I have said that I know of it and I know this is card.

799
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:19,600
Okay, fine, yeah.

800
01:00:20,420 --> 01:00:20,480
Okay.

801
01:00:21,780 --> 01:00:24,320
So, there she does, okay.

802
01:00:24,700 --> 01:00:25,500
That's the name, Victor Tarman.

803
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:26,620
That's it.

804
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:29,240
It's a secret.

805
01:00:30,860 --> 01:00:38,360
But I do want to say, whoever did the sound system on Main Street there in Whitesboro, they did it right.

806
01:00:38,940 --> 01:00:45,400
It's never too loud, and as you wander around, you hear it wherever you go with your outside.

807
01:00:46,180 --> 01:00:49,500
So they figured it out, and they're pretty small.

808
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,480
You know, it's not like there's something metal out to us or anything.

809
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,220
Well, and there's is, are you talking like, on their main stream?

810
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,600
Yeah, so, and it's not so it's not even a square.

811
01:00:58,840 --> 01:00:59,540
It's just a wrap.

812
01:01:00,300 --> 01:01:00,580
Okay.

813
01:01:01,060 --> 01:01:01,460
Linear.

814
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:02,820
Didn't made just the old cells.

815
01:01:03,460 --> 01:01:04,120
They might have not.

816
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:05,700
They did, but it's nice.

817
01:01:11,010 --> 01:01:14,850
Um, do you, are there other events that we want to discuss that?

818
01:01:15,350 --> 01:01:17,590
Um, so next things coming up are our markets.

819
01:01:18,310 --> 01:01:24,150
So at the end of April, April 25th, we have our first market of the,

820
01:01:24,150 --> 01:01:29,910
are of the season, and it is in conjunction with pilot point neighborhood events doing the

821
01:01:29,910 --> 01:01:39,150
jazz fest, the inaugural jazz fest. They have a headliner, Joseph, when Chile, and

822
01:01:39,150 --> 01:01:46,430
Chile, and I think they have a, maybe the UNT band coming up before them, and then maybe somebody

823
01:01:46,430 --> 01:01:50,590
else prior to that. So I think there's three music groups, they'll have a stage in everything,

824
01:01:50,590 --> 01:01:57,350
that's going to be set up next to community services. So in the parking lot here, they've already

825
01:01:57,350 --> 01:02:04,990
sold out all their VIP tables. They have a Charcuterie board, I guess food truck business,

826
01:02:05,530 --> 01:02:09,520
that you can pre-order from and then, of course, you can get on that night as well,

827
01:02:10,530 --> 01:02:15,370
Carly's Confections, who does like chocolate covered strawberries and lovely things like that,

828
01:02:15,370 --> 01:02:21,690
be there and then they also scheduled a pizza truck. So there will be plenty of food and then

829
01:02:21,690 --> 01:02:26,310
the market I think I have about 20 vendors signed up right now. I did another push online

830
01:02:27,290 --> 01:02:31,850
earlier or I guess at the end of last week just to see if we can get some more people out

831
01:02:33,990 --> 01:02:38,850
and and then the Chamber of Commerce will be doing I think it's the mid June of this time around.

832
01:02:40,350 --> 01:03:02,410
And so the plan, at least initially, and I think this is still the plan, was to have the chamber of commerce set up in the little pocket park area, so that they kind of bridge people from Main Street to downtown, because we're not going to be closing down the square, we're just closing down that section of Main Street between Jefferson and church.

833
01:03:02,970 --> 01:03:11,050
So, right, you can still park on the square, visit the square, and do the sip and stroll, and visit the market and the event.

834
01:03:11,750 --> 01:03:15,230
Is our market going to stay in that area for the rest of the season?

835
01:03:15,830 --> 01:03:19,510
Yes, we're calling them markets on main or market on main.

836
01:03:20,310 --> 01:03:27,490
And just, that was to try and appease our merchants who don't love us shutting down the square all the time.

837
01:03:27,490 --> 01:03:33,650
And also, it helps create a more intimate environment for the market, because it is smaller.

838
01:03:35,010 --> 01:03:35,730
Try it.

839
01:03:36,130 --> 01:03:36,490
It is.

840
01:03:37,050 --> 01:03:39,610
It's less closure.

841
01:03:40,090 --> 01:03:42,990
And so it just makes it a lot easier to manage.

842
01:03:43,190 --> 01:03:45,130
So we're just going to try it and see how it works.

843
01:03:46,830 --> 01:03:49,170
I think it's going to be great, so we'll see.

844
01:03:50,270 --> 01:03:53,530
Well, I think it's a good thing that the Jazz Fest is our kickoff.

845
01:03:53,530 --> 01:03:59,630
of what you're moving it because we will benefit from all of their advertising and getting

846
01:03:59,630 --> 01:04:05,790
the word out of that is now our new location. So hopefully that'll help us, help us,

847
01:04:05,790 --> 01:04:12,730
good Lord. Help us all season long. My only thought would be we're going to lose those people that

848
01:04:12,730 --> 01:04:20,210
have seen it by driving by and going, oh, what's going on over here. So we have signs for a family

849
01:04:20,990 --> 01:04:30,350
So I'm working on I want to order some feather flags. They have said that we can do feather flags as long as they're temporary and just for during the event. That sort of thing

850
01:04:31,130 --> 01:04:36,210
You're going to get flack for that. I know even if it's temporary people are going to.

851
01:04:36,210 --> 01:04:37,430
So

852
01:04:38,710 --> 01:04:46,330
Always yeah, you said we couldn't

853
01:04:46,330 --> 01:04:48,250
Never I think because

854
01:04:54,210 --> 01:04:57,650
From the zero to main

855
01:04:57,650 --> 01:05:02,630
I don't know if that's tall enough either

856
01:05:07,310 --> 01:05:09,290
I love the look of those.

857
01:05:10,030 --> 01:05:13,270
That is a word that I think we use that word in this.

858
01:05:13,270 --> 01:05:14,210
I think it's your teacher.

859
01:05:14,630 --> 01:05:17,270
But let's just, it's your right version of that.

860
01:05:18,950 --> 01:05:19,250
Yeah.

861
01:05:21,130 --> 01:05:24,210
So I'm excited to see how that turns out this is.

862
01:05:26,450 --> 01:05:26,490
Yeah.

863
01:05:26,490 --> 01:05:27,210
In that area.

864
01:05:27,250 --> 01:05:28,830
And I love that it's a night.

865
01:05:29,130 --> 01:05:30,670
I'll be smiling the whole time.

866
01:05:31,210 --> 01:05:36,190
Our merges on the square are aware that our market is not going to be in front of this.

867
01:05:36,190 --> 01:05:44,350
Yes, yes, and as a whole what percentage wanted that what percentage didn't

868
01:05:44,350 --> 01:05:52,190
vocalize a negative towards that. That's a great question that I don't really have the answer to. I feel like it because I feel that was pre-pre-me

869
01:05:52,190 --> 01:05:53,550
The entire civilization

870
01:05:53,550 --> 01:05:55,690
Yeah, or two main

871
01:05:56,950 --> 01:05:57,490
Educators

872
01:05:57,490 --> 01:06:06,030
No, because there is that's not directly on the square that was not excited about the fact that it was now going to be on mainstream because

873
01:06:06,190 --> 01:06:09,810
Then people don't necessarily see their business and

874
01:06:10,890 --> 01:06:16,810
It's like darn it is that feeling of like you cannot make everyone happy right like we're feeling like

875
01:06:16,810 --> 01:06:22,470
Yeah, so we're just we're gonna give it a shot. And if it doesn't work we'll try something new

876
01:06:40,090 --> 01:06:47,350
It's just a matter of, we do actually want our businesses to be at the top of the list

877
01:06:47,350 --> 01:06:53,910
of who's been a fitting from this, because without them in business, we have empty buildings

878
01:06:53,910 --> 01:06:56,190
and that deteriorates to where it's all.

879
01:06:56,510 --> 01:07:02,470
So that's the thing, these events are meant to be for the community, but also to push business

880
01:07:02,470 --> 01:07:06,390
into the merchants that are already on the square.

881
01:07:06,930 --> 01:07:10,190
So we definitely want to always be mindful of their feedback.

882
01:07:11,990 --> 01:07:14,910
Let's try something different and see how that goes

883
01:07:14,910 --> 01:07:16,450
because we have that feedback.

884
01:07:16,990 --> 01:07:21,030
Because knowing how this area, it doesn't actually

885
01:07:21,030 --> 01:07:23,410
have to be a negative that we did away from them.

886
01:07:23,530 --> 01:07:24,350
We don't have to see it.

887
01:07:24,890 --> 01:07:25,930
So we did.

888
01:07:26,390 --> 01:07:29,490
It's really a negative feedback from my, I said.

889
01:07:30,660 --> 01:07:32,000
So we're going to want the events committee.

890
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:32,860
Yeah.

891
01:07:32,860 --> 01:07:33,460
And the emergency.

892
01:07:34,260 --> 01:07:35,480
You know, they all know.

893
01:07:36,260 --> 01:07:36,660
Okay.

894
01:07:37,020 --> 01:07:39,100
So there wasn't much pushback at all.

895
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:46,680
I mean, I think they were really interested in the stand-outs work, especially, you know, like, I think the only issue

896
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:50,880
of the member who was like the show stalling, so it's worried about people on the low ground.

897
01:07:51,140 --> 01:07:58,440
But then when you start, then you look over there and, you know, make your way around, and she's like, oh, okay, I'm cool with that.

898
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:00,120
people sniff out of the hall.

899
01:08:01,460 --> 01:08:02,400
Did you find the alcohol?

900
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:04,600
Did you know that I think if everyone

901
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:06,520
do work together, at least if they would

902
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,240
you make it work, you stay?

903
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,460
Well, also, if we can reiterate to the merchants,

904
01:08:12,140 --> 01:08:16,260
you know, you can share all of this information

905
01:08:16,260 --> 01:08:18,140
with your name at the top.

906
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,000
It can be your event if you choose.

907
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:25,240
Well, and I had vendors reach out and say,

908
01:08:25,660 --> 01:08:28,020
is there a like deal like a flower festival graphic

909
01:08:28,020 --> 01:08:38,720
that I can put on my stuff, and I'm going to share it out, and I'm absolutely, and so the vendors are being proactive that way, and I think some of our merchants are active that way too.

910
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:47,600
And we have chamber events with every single one of our markets.

911
01:08:47,900 --> 01:08:50,340
So that is a way to push the business.

912
01:08:51,060 --> 01:08:51,920
Yep, two businesses.

913
01:08:52,700 --> 01:08:55,040
So I think put the chamber right there in the middle.

914
01:08:55,780 --> 01:08:55,820
Yeah.

915
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:57,560
Right.

916
01:09:04,020 --> 01:09:08,240
So the last thing is when these multimedia content reports,

917
01:09:08,460 --> 01:09:11,980
she wanted to do one that was specific to main streets.

918
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:15,740
You guys could kind of see what she had put out.

919
01:09:15,740 --> 01:09:22,660
what it did well and sort of what our reach had been through social media for the

920
01:09:22,660 --> 01:09:31,820
flower festival specifically so it says like reached 57,800 people so we ran a

921
01:09:31,820 --> 01:09:37,420
paid media ad in the post signal and then and there was paid ad I believe on

922
01:09:37,420 --> 01:09:44,340
program and Facebook, you know, if that's, yeah, I think that's Facebook and Instagram.

923
01:09:46,380 --> 01:09:51,300
So you kind of see what all that the promotion side of things.

924
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:56,380
So what I'll do is just kind of, I've sort of made a note of when you guys were talking

925
01:09:56,380 --> 01:10:00,320
about promotions and social media specifically and what your direction would be for that.

926
01:10:00,540 --> 01:10:04,340
So I'm going to email her and say, hey, go, let's go back and listen to this section.

927
01:10:04,340 --> 01:10:08,720
so they can. And also, Erin, it would be a great thing to just make note whenever you

928
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,640
guys are talking about that, then you can talk about it in your committee as well, and

929
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,460
that way we're all on the same page, I'll do it in the same things.

930
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:19,160
We are too, oh, sorry, you're on, you're in leading this on me.

931
01:10:19,340 --> 01:10:20,080
Now go ahead.

932
01:10:20,260 --> 01:10:23,780
I'm just going to say for you, Melda. I've been from future discussion, but yeah?

933
01:10:23,780 --> 01:10:24,600
Not my job.

934
01:10:25,220 --> 01:10:31,560
Um, do we have, I have a question for, Erin, okay?

935
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:45,480
So, the group, your group, are you already connected where, if you had a bit of information, you have a method of getting it out there with some of these neighborhoods?

936
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:47,060
Oh, yeah.

937
01:10:47,300 --> 01:10:48,800
So that's sort of in place.

938
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,760
Well, we're using Facebook.

939
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,520
A mobile has a Facebook page.

940
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:54,700
We rose.

941
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:55,760
Yarbara.

942
01:10:55,760 --> 01:11:03,760
That's an example on February, April 18th, there's the pilot point, what do we want to be calling it?

943
01:11:04,500 --> 01:11:05,080
Let's bring a truffle?

944
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:06,840
Oh, no.

945
01:11:07,740 --> 01:11:09,040
Which is very great.

946
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:09,440
That's all I know.

947
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:11,320
It's not the museum.

948
01:11:11,740 --> 01:11:15,600
It's the Antiques Roadsch, Thailand Roadsch show.

949
01:11:16,740 --> 01:11:19,320
Have you seen notification of that?

950
01:11:19,440 --> 01:11:19,640
Yes.

951
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,560
Have you sent that out?

952
01:11:22,660 --> 01:11:24,020
I haven't sent that out yet.

953
01:11:24,020 --> 01:11:27,020
And you know the rate, I haven't heard of it.

954
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:28,640
Well, therein lies the problem.

955
01:11:32,300 --> 01:11:36,200
Who is the, it's the library, it's the library.

956
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:41,300
And, and this is their first time, it's all kind of new to everybody.

957
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,740
But, in reality, the handful of people that I talked to,

958
01:11:45,820 --> 01:11:46,820
they don't know anything about it.

959
01:11:47,020 --> 01:11:52,900
So, it's not getting, no matter what all this multimedia content means,

960
01:11:52,900 --> 01:11:54,860
It's not getting where it needs to go.

961
01:11:55,300 --> 01:12:08,080
So I was hoping that maybe you could send that out because I never, I will never get tired of beating the drum that says for all of the new folks in pilot point.

962
01:12:08,220 --> 01:12:11,800
We'd sure like them to know that we're pilot point.

963
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:12,840
They're pilot point.

964
01:12:13,580 --> 01:12:19,740
It's like that has been forgotten or it was never a concept.

965
01:12:19,740 --> 01:12:23,460
I like those folks over at, you know,

966
01:12:23,540 --> 01:12:27,320
moreover lead to come in and see, you know, old man, old man,

967
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:33,200
pilot point, and how he lived in 1901, or whatever the story is.

968
01:12:34,480 --> 01:12:36,740
And you know, it's two hours out of the day, it was Saturday.

969
01:12:37,700 --> 01:12:38,600
So, the price is right.

970
01:12:41,070 --> 01:12:44,410
So what I understand about that is that they're asking people,

971
01:12:45,150 --> 01:12:48,190
if you have an artifact, three of the three artifacts,

972
01:12:48,450 --> 01:12:50,590
bring it for recording.

973
01:12:51,950 --> 01:12:56,970
This is what I know about it is. I think it's still kind of nebulous. I don't have an

974
01:12:56,970 --> 01:13:03,090
artifact, but I have a picture. I'm going to, I'm going to, I am going to take pictures of my

975
01:13:03,090 --> 01:13:09,350
staircase. Because that's part of, it is part of part of the point's history. And what they do

976
01:13:09,350 --> 01:13:20,570
with it, it's all it is, is story time. This is story time. And you get to hold up a plate or a

977
01:13:20,570 --> 01:13:20,910
Exactly.

978
01:13:21,210 --> 01:13:27,350
Because, for example, they're going to have a few experts, but also there are folks in town

979
01:13:27,350 --> 01:13:30,910
that know more about their phone stuff than any other guys going to know.

980
01:13:31,370 --> 01:13:35,770
Even if it's just neighborhood lore, it's a fun story time, all this is a story time.

981
01:13:36,830 --> 01:13:41,950
That wasn't the way it was presented, but I can very, I can follow up on that.

982
01:13:41,950 --> 01:13:44,310
Please do whatever you feel comfortable with it.

983
01:13:44,930 --> 01:13:45,830
But I can.

984
01:13:46,150 --> 01:13:46,170
I can.

985
01:13:46,170 --> 01:13:50,230
Nobody really knows exactly what it is, kind of a surprise.

986
01:13:50,230 --> 01:13:51,190
Yep. Yep.

987
01:13:52,330 --> 01:13:56,190
That is not on the library's website.

988
01:13:56,870 --> 01:13:57,650
Hold a museum.

989
01:13:58,170 --> 01:13:58,370
Okay.

990
01:13:59,410 --> 01:14:01,370
Because they are one in the same ish.

991
01:14:02,010 --> 01:14:04,250
Does the museum have its own Facebook page?

992
01:14:04,510 --> 01:14:06,210
Well, this is on the outline.

993
01:14:07,350 --> 01:14:08,130
Texas website.

994
01:14:08,450 --> 01:14:09,750
I looked at the library portion.

995
01:14:10,490 --> 01:14:10,750
Okay.

996
01:14:11,130 --> 01:14:12,870
It's probably on their Facebook page,

997
01:14:13,010 --> 01:14:15,570
maybe not on their website too much.

998
01:14:16,010 --> 01:14:17,170
I know it is too much.

999
01:14:18,010 --> 01:14:23,690
So what it reminded me of you saying though is like talking on us said when I'm researching

1000
01:14:23,690 --> 01:14:28,470
and I'm learning about agro-life and I know where and I understand what a master gardener is.

1001
01:14:28,930 --> 01:14:31,730
That's kind of how information about the city is too.

1002
01:14:31,970 --> 01:14:37,510
Is it like you have to know where to look and so a lot of our information is shared through

1003
01:14:37,510 --> 01:14:45,190
like our Facebook main street page and our Facebook city page and our Facebook library page.

1004
01:14:45,190 --> 01:14:47,210
And so if you don't follow those things,

1005
01:14:47,430 --> 01:14:48,530
then you are out of the loop.

1006
01:14:48,970 --> 01:14:51,930
And there's a lot of people that aren't on Facebook at all.

1007
01:14:52,450 --> 01:14:55,370
And so it's not that those are the only places

1008
01:14:55,990 --> 01:14:59,530
that we utilize, but it is a primary source for sure.

1009
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,220
I mean, you know, it will make fun of me because I'm not that person, but I'm not the only one.

1010
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:13,720
Well, we put a lot of it in the post signal, too. So like that's a place that people get it in print and they can get it digitally if they get their newspaper digitally.

1011
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:19,180
So I mean, a lot of it is there, but you kind of have to be looking for it.

1012
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:29,360
So I want to, I mean, I'm processing because the promotions committee is directly tied to mainstream.

1013
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:34,320
Is that right? Yes, not the library. Correct. Okay, so I just want to be careful about scope.

1014
01:15:35,500 --> 01:15:39,780
No, no, I'm I'm talking about Main Street board.

1015
01:15:41,020 --> 01:15:48,880
So I want to be careful about scope creep as far as what the promotions committee supposed to do. So again, I'm still processing.

1016
01:15:51,700 --> 01:15:56,340
That you're your information because maybe I need to follow up with Wendy on that.

1017
01:15:56,340 --> 01:16:04,100
So the library also has a library and cultural arts board.

1018
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:06,440
Yes, and I'm on that.

1019
01:16:06,900 --> 01:16:09,660
OK, so maybe they're sharing this information out too.

1020
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:10,920
I have no idea.

1021
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:11,780
I don't know.

1022
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:14,820
But that's where I think part of it is kind of what

1023
01:16:14,820 --> 01:16:16,480
that would say it's at the 18th.

1024
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:18,120
Who chose the three?

1025
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:18,680
Yeah.

1026
01:16:19,060 --> 01:16:19,420
I know.

1027
01:16:19,580 --> 01:16:20,240
I trash off.

1028
01:16:20,620 --> 01:16:23,000
Or that's not what you can use in order to the group.

1029
01:16:23,100 --> 01:16:24,020
OK, that's it.

1030
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:25,180
Everybody can share it.

1031
01:16:25,180 --> 01:16:27,540
So what does she do?

1032
01:16:27,740 --> 01:16:28,300
She says.

1033
01:16:28,300 --> 01:16:28,560
She says.

1034
01:16:28,700 --> 01:16:30,180
I sense the face of what I'm saying.

1035
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:31,080
So we can all share.

1036
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:32,360
It's not the look for it.

1037
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,340
Hey, are you coming during the call at point memory?

1038
01:16:34,440 --> 01:16:42,460
And also about more really farms and the homes out there, I took our flyers out there

1039
01:16:42,460 --> 01:16:46,180
to their model homes, because those are the only contacts I have.

1040
01:16:46,380 --> 01:16:47,080
Is their model homes?

1041
01:16:47,220 --> 01:16:48,840
And I was like, hey, can you share this up out there?

1042
01:16:49,020 --> 01:16:49,600
I'm like, yeah, sure.

1043
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:58,420
But if you guys have the HOA or whoever, somebody else that I can share that information directly with, I'm happy to do that.

1044
01:16:58,420 --> 01:17:05,920
And when you're sure it out, and you also have to do, you can tag those on your following and have your kind of pages as well.

1045
01:17:08,550 --> 01:17:11,710
And I'll definitely follow with Jenna on that.

1046
01:17:11,810 --> 01:17:12,110
Perfect.

1047
01:17:13,250 --> 01:17:19,590
Well, I, and this is a little bit of a left turn, um, I, so I know that it was talked about the,

1048
01:17:21,610 --> 01:17:27,010
the, that's a call that is your whole board starting at the start of your view board.

1049
01:17:27,030 --> 01:17:27,250
Yeah.

1050
01:17:27,250 --> 01:17:41,310
It's sort of a viewboard, but also when we started the new process where they will come in and, you know, a certain thing will be fed to the city and the staff member will deal with approval on certain things and all that stuff with our base.

1051
01:17:42,170 --> 01:17:51,650
Well, so I just was wondering because we haven't talked about it since way back when and we're not seeing any historical things come through.

1052
01:17:51,650 --> 01:17:57,890
So in the scope of like just covering all the vases for what I was saying earlier, has that happen?

1053
01:17:57,930 --> 01:18:00,430
When will that happen? What's going to happen with that?

1054
01:18:00,610 --> 01:18:07,310
I know we're feeding stuff through the pipeline of like certain things will just go be handled by staff members.

1055
01:18:08,010 --> 01:18:15,510
But we at the time when we talked about that we asked that there still be a report which like what happens here.

1056
01:18:15,510 --> 01:18:20,390
These things came through this month, this is the feedback that we gave them.

1057
01:18:20,550 --> 01:18:28,110
These things were approved and these things are these projects are moving forward so that we're informed as a board.

1058
01:18:28,910 --> 01:18:31,210
And that's my question, are we still doing that?

1059
01:18:31,530 --> 01:18:38,350
Are we still having, are we still historical, whatever they want to call us?

1060
01:18:38,550 --> 01:18:44,750
Because I'm just now seeing mainstream advisory board where it was before it was mainstream, so it said all the way.

1061
01:18:44,750 --> 01:18:46,990
I don't remember, that's what I'm saying.

1062
01:18:47,330 --> 01:18:51,550
And the interest of having it all be clear and moving forward for me.

1063
01:18:51,550 --> 01:18:52,690
We did a job description.

1064
01:18:53,290 --> 01:18:54,010
Oh, yeah.

1065
01:18:54,050 --> 01:18:54,530
The board?

1066
01:18:54,770 --> 01:18:55,450
The board.

1067
01:18:56,250 --> 01:18:56,410
Oh.

1068
01:18:56,510 --> 01:18:57,490
Let me address that.

1069
01:18:57,630 --> 01:18:59,010
And then he's going to address your historic work.

1070
01:19:00,370 --> 01:19:03,690
So last time when we met it was like, hey, we don't know our roles in our responsibilities.

1071
01:19:03,690 --> 01:19:05,510
We want to understand that.

1072
01:19:05,770 --> 01:19:11,790
So I wanted to give an update on that internally, the city as a, like, every department that

1073
01:19:11,790 --> 01:19:12,750
has a board.

1074
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:19,330
we are currently reviewing our boards and commission handbook and getting it all like clean

1075
01:19:19,330 --> 01:19:26,730
up updated all that so that that is going to be coming to you guys as soon as it's finalized and

1076
01:19:26,730 --> 01:19:30,720
approved and it has to go probably to our attorney to make sure that you know we did all the things

1077
01:19:32,330 --> 01:19:36,340
so that is happening so I just want you to know that that's a thing

1078
01:19:38,220 --> 01:19:45,880
And also, it was the other thing, the historical, the historic review board, so thank you.

1079
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:56,320
I know that it is going to be coming off a main street, and I think that's going to be within the next few months.

1080
01:19:56,320 --> 01:20:00,760
I'm going to go before the appointment.

1081
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:05,340
So city council will be making new appointments in June.

1082
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,180
They just did a big push for people to turn in applications.

1083
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:09,940
If they want to be on the board.

1084
01:20:11,460 --> 01:20:15,920
And so that's going to be city council's going to vote on those in June.

1085
01:20:16,480 --> 01:20:18,940
And those terms will begin in July as my understanding.

1086
01:20:19,660 --> 01:20:23,880
And so at that point like handbook should be done and ready and coming to you.

1087
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:35,380
And then we should be getting new members to hopefully, and then yes, our understanding was a historical viewboard is going to be the historical viewboard in the mainstream we're going to be separate.

1088
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:46,560
And so this will be mainstream board and then historical viewboard is going to be its own thing under it was previous, like it was previously, yes, before it was merged with things, yes.

1089
01:20:47,660 --> 01:20:54,060
What about those members that were on that historic review board that were pushed over to

1090
01:20:54,060 --> 01:20:54,740
Main Street?

1091
01:20:55,700 --> 01:21:01,040
Would they be able to move back with their historic review board that was their number one

1092
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,740
choice, why they're even on the board today?

1093
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:08,560
I would say that they need to apply just like everyone else would be my thought and they need

1094
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:10,840
to say, you know, in your application, say not.

1095
01:21:11,020 --> 01:21:12,440
Put me back in my chair.

1096
01:21:13,020 --> 01:21:13,140
Yeah.

1097
01:21:13,140 --> 01:21:16,940
But I can ask about that and I can get your answer.

1098
01:21:17,740 --> 01:21:23,180
Because I do know that that is, I know, I'm going to speak on the Debbie's behalf.

1099
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:24,780
I know that that's what happened to Debbie.

1100
01:21:25,940 --> 01:21:27,560
And it's forced to be a part of she was.

1101
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:28,120
She was.

1102
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:28,640
She was.

1103
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:31,860
We all know that that's her heart.

1104
01:21:32,460 --> 01:21:33,740
And there's nothing wrong with that.

1105
01:21:33,900 --> 01:21:35,900
That she cares about our historic guidelines.

1106
01:21:36,580 --> 01:21:39,160
And that happened to her where she was pushed over here.

1107
01:21:39,260 --> 01:21:40,900
And now we're separating it out.

1108
01:21:40,900 --> 01:21:44,400
and there has not been any kind of contact on us as a board.

1109
01:21:44,660 --> 01:21:46,640
Like, who where you guys want to go?

1110
01:21:47,700 --> 01:21:49,700
And in fact, I've heard other words.

1111
01:21:50,500 --> 01:21:54,060
For me, especially, that I can't be on a historic board

1112
01:21:54,060 --> 01:21:54,820
going forward.

1113
01:21:58,940 --> 01:22:02,800
So the concern is, with the purpose,

1114
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:08,600
one layer of the moving forward, that we are staying clear

1115
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:15,180
with our citizens that want to be involved in these things and not

1116
01:22:15,180 --> 01:22:21,160
shuffling papers and keeping everybody confused. That's all. I wanted to be

1117
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:24,180
on the record like that. Just jot your name down then you can speak

1118
01:22:24,180 --> 01:22:29,980
sure. We're off the rails today it's fine. Too bad there's not a city.

1119
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,200
So remember, here to start an us up.

1120
01:22:34,100 --> 01:22:40,940
It's not being a thing. It's not. It's like, only as it is, do you know that it is?

1121
01:22:42,340 --> 01:22:52,940
I'm worrying parody, 144 Lakeview Circle. My question is, Jason. When the applications are going out for a mainstream,

1122
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:58,180
is it going to be noted that there's going to be a new board, there's a stroke of board?

1123
01:22:58,180 --> 01:23:09,400
Because I know that there, you know, all the other boards, MD, MD, MD, MD, MD, PNZ, but I haven't seen anything about the historical review boards.

1124
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:11,800
So is that going to be noted and advertised?

1125
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:13,040
It will be.

1126
01:23:13,460 --> 01:23:13,940
That's it.

1127
01:23:14,460 --> 01:23:17,660
The way you for it to be able, or the break-off.

1128
01:23:18,660 --> 01:23:20,200
Sorry, but I'll give you another big thing.

1129
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:24,320
They were waiting on some, something to come back from our attorney.

1130
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:27,660
And once we got that back then, they were going to be able to do that.

1131
01:23:27,660 --> 01:23:31,700
So it should be going out there as an option, yes.

1132
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:38,860
Okay, because I thought I heard you say that after all these assignments were made in June,

1133
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,680
then that new board would be created now.

1134
01:23:42,180 --> 01:23:42,500
Sorry.

1135
01:23:42,780 --> 01:23:43,460
I just did it.

1136
01:23:43,620 --> 01:23:45,520
So this, let's going to have it before.

1137
01:23:45,980 --> 01:23:48,560
So that people can be able to get to it in June.

1138
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:51,360
Okay, because applications have to be in the end of April.

1139
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:53,200
So that's not a lot of time.

1140
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:58,900
Thank you for that time, and I'll let me out to talk to her.

1141
01:23:59,100 --> 01:23:59,920
I have to start by.

1142
01:24:00,020 --> 01:24:01,980
Maureen, did you state your name and entrance?

1143
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:02,460
I did.

1144
01:24:02,740 --> 01:24:02,800
Okay.

1145
01:24:03,180 --> 01:24:06,900
She said it softly.

1146
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:07,800
She's a lady.

1147
01:24:08,420 --> 01:24:08,780
You're fine.

1148
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:09,440
Okay.

1149
01:24:09,500 --> 01:24:10,480
That was my only question.

1150
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:11,520
Thank you.

1151
01:24:11,660 --> 01:24:12,100
Good question.

1152
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:14,940
There's going to be a new board.

1153
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:16,720
People are going to need to know about it.

1154
01:24:17,480 --> 01:24:18,800
I'm not going to say for sure.

1155
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:19,200
What happened?

1156
01:24:19,380 --> 01:24:23,680
Thank you for that question.

1157
01:24:34,480 --> 01:24:39,200
All right, y'all, we got anything else that has to go in grinding?

1158
01:24:43,130 --> 01:24:43,650
No?

1159
01:24:44,050 --> 01:24:44,190
No.

1160
01:24:44,630 --> 01:24:44,750
Okay.

1161
01:24:44,910 --> 01:24:46,430
We need a motion to adjourn.

1162
01:24:46,830 --> 01:24:47,910
All motion to adjourn.

1163
01:24:49,470 --> 01:24:51,410
Who's on favor of adjourning?

1164
01:24:51,750 --> 01:24:51,910
Aye.

1165
01:24:52,190 --> 01:24:52,810
Thank you everybody.
